TYPOGRAPHICAL COMPOSING-MAOHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 2'7, 1914.

Application filed June 8, 1914. Serial No. 843,704.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it knownthat I, CHRISTIAN AUGUSTUS ALBRECHT, a citizen of the United States of America, at present residing at Chausseestrasse 23, Berlin, N. 4, in the Empire of Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in Typographical Composing- Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to typographical composing machines, particularly such as those known commercially under the trade mark Linotype, and it refers essentially to the parts of thosemachines known as the partitions of the face or front plate of the assembler, which partitions serve to guide the matrices just previously released from the magazine.

The object of the present invention is to construct the said partitions so that they shall avoid contacting with and damaging the delicate side walls of the formative cavities of the matrices during the further movement of these matrices into the assembler.

In the accompanying drawing, which shows diagrammatically a constructional form of the invention: Figure 1 is a front view and Fig. 2 a vertical section of sufiicient of a machine to illustrate the application thereto of the said invention.

In this drawing, 1 represents the magazine from which the matrices are released in the known manner. After such release they descencl in known manner between the guide blades or partitions 20f the assembler plate 3,

which guide them down to the assembler belt 4: runnlng over continuous rotating pulleys 5. During the passage of the matrices from between the partitions 2 on to the belt 4:, it may happen that the said matrices are pressed against the lower ends of these partitions, and, as a result thereof, the thin side walls of the formative cavities of those matrices may be damaged. To avoid this possible damaging of the matrices, the present invention provides a recess 6, Fig. 2, in each of the guide blades 2 at the part at which the above-named side walls of the formative cavities would contact therewith, so that even if the matrices do contact with those blades they will do so only at parts other than the said side walls.

Having described my invention, I declare that what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is In a typographical composing machine, the combination with an assembler plate in termediate a magazine and an assembler belt, of guide blades or partitions on the assembler plate, having recesses in their lower ends to avoid contacting with the side walls of the formative cavities of the matrices passing out of the channels between the guide blades.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.

CHRISTIAN AUGUSTUS ALBRECHT. Witnesses:

VVQLDEMAR HAUPT, HENRY HASPER.
